This is undoubtedly tougher than the handicaps PLEDGEOFALLEGIANCE has been winning but he didn't need to be subjected to strong pressure at Doncaster last week and can complete the hat-trick. Lordship, whose trainer has a good recent record in this race, heads the many dangers along with Midnight Lion and Rogue Sea.
